Kaduna Electric meters 50,000 customers as debts rise to N200bn
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on TelegramShare on WhatsApp

Kaduna Electric says it has so far metered about 50,000 customers under the National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP).

It also said it’s commitment to service delivery is being hampered by crippling debt, which it put at N200 billion.

Kaduna Electric is one of the electricity distribution companies in the country. It is responsible for retail distribution and marketing of electricity in Kaduna, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara states.

It said it is working closely with the meter asset providers to ramp up deployment.

21st CENTURY CHRONICLE reports that in order to cushion the effect of the Service Reflective Tariff on electricity consumers in Nigeria, the Federal Government introduced a meter rollout scheme under the National Mass Metering Program (NMMP), as part of efforts to further bridge the country’s metering gap.

The National Mass Metering Program (NMMP) is expected to roll out six million meters across the country.

The Head, Corporate Communications, Kaduna Electric, Abdulazeez Abdullahi told 21ST CENTURY CHRONICLE that although the distribution company has about 800,000 customers officially captured, they are however those uncaptured who are using electricity illegally.

“We are therefore engaging in continuous enumeration exercise to bring in more customers into our database”, he explained.

He said the company is being owed an outstanding debt of over N200 billion by various categories of customers.

He also noted that energy theft, vandalism and non payment of bills are major drawbacks to its service delivery efforts.

“We are doing our best to live up to our commitment under the service based tariff to deliver on the supply hours promised customers in the various Bands.

“We however need the cooperation of all customers to make this possible,” he stated.
